Side Story: After the Eight Gates Sasuke Traveled to Shippuden 1
Konoha Forest, the night was quiet.
A crisp ringing of bells suddenly came from the forest.
Under the moonlight, a masked ANBU member landed lightly on a tree. "Tch, is it some other squad playing the bell-stealing game again?"
Following the moonlight's illumination, he looked at the three familiar figures under the tree, covered his face, and then flew down in front of them. "Hey! Naruto, why are you still playing this childish bell game with Teacher Kakashi…"
"Huh? What do you mean, 'childish bell game'?"
Naruto Uzumaki was still feeling smug about his tactic working, having successfully snatched the bells from Kakashi with Sakura. Being suddenly interrupted, he looked a little displeased.
This was a tactic he had thought of!
He had just defeated Teacher Kakashi head-on!
This was the test of his training results after two years out with Jiraiya!
Naruto turned around, looked at the ANBU uniform under the animal mask, and scratched his hair in confusion. "Hey, you guy…"
"I can't be bothered to talk to you. It's perfect that Teacher Kakashi is also here…"
The ANBU ninja fumbled in his robes, took out a scroll, and tossed it to Kakashi. "I've cleaned out one of Orochimaru's bases. Inside is illegal human experiment material. Please trouble Teacher Kakashi to hand this over to my older brother!"
This ANBU ninja, who had a strange way of appearing, ignored the gazes of the others, took off his mask, and gave them a smug, roguish smile. "Mission complete! In any case, I don't want to see that crow. I'm going to see Shizune-neechan first…"
"Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki grabbed him by the collar, furious. "What the hell do you mean, you guy! Just suddenly coming back to the village like this…"
Sakura Haruno cautiously approached them. "That's right, Sasuke-kun… Why did you suddenly come back to the village? Why are you looking for Shizune-shishou?"
"First Hokage's cells…"
Kakashi Hatake, at the side, opened the scroll. He looked at the pile of actively dividing muscle tissue in the bottles, somewhat surprised. "Could it be… Sasuke, your reason for defecting from Konoha back then was to cooperate with the village in hunting down Orochimaru?
After just a few seconds, Kakashi shook his head violently. "No… that should be impossible… Sasuke's goal has only ever been to kill his brother… Itachi Uchiha!"
"…What nonsense are you guys talking about!"
Sasuke tapped Naruto's head with a finger. "Idiot, let go! You're wrinkling my clothes! I had to find a tailor shop to get this specially ironed!"
The yellow-haired youth held onto his clothes stubbornly, ignoring his actions. "First, tell me clearly, why did you leave the village back then…"
"I'm in the Hokage's direct ANBU! Of course I have to leave the village for missions!" Sasuke Uchiha grabbed Naruto's arm, desperately trying to break his grip. "You idiot, do you think everyone is as idle as your Hokage's Guard!"
"Stop it!"
Kakashi's kunai flashed a cold light in the dead of night, stopping at Sasuke's neck. He tried his best to control his arm. "Although my Sharingan can't see through your genjutsu or transformation, who on earth are you, and why are you impersonating Sasuke to infiltrate Konoha!"
"…Infinite Tsukuyomi? World of Tsukuyomi?"
Sasuke Uchiha tilted his head, uttering two words that made Kakashi tremble. He then slowly lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "Kitahara, you bastard! When I get out of here, I'm going to kill you!"
The members of Team 7 looked at each other. Sakura, her face full of worry, twirled a finger at her head. From their exchanged glances, they all roughly understood each other's meaning. This Sasuke's brain probably had a problem…
However, Sasuke Uchiha was completely unconcerned by their strange looks. He rubbed his face hard and forced a smile. "Go on, tell me, what's my identity? Am I the little boy who was beaten up by his parents and brother since he was young? Or am I a child who was thrown into an orphanage at birth?"
Kakashi Hatake: "…"
Naruto Uzumaki: "…"
Sakura Haruno: "…"
"Don't be embarrassed, I'm already used to it. In any case, in front of me, the ending is all the same."
Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists so tightly that everyone could almost see his suppressed anger. "Also, is Itachi Uchiha the Fourth Hokage's guard? Or is he the current Fifth Hokage? And of course, the most important point: does he have a red-eyed crow?"
Kakashi Hatake: "…"
There were so many points to roast that he didn't know where to start… This Sasuke had a really high opinion of himself! How could his older brother be the Fourth Hokage's guard, and how could he be the Fifth Hokage!
Sakura Haruno spoke with a worried expression, "Itachi Uchiha is an S-rank rogue ninja of the village. He slaughtered your entire clan, leaving only you… Sasuke, have you lost your memory?"
"Mm, something like that."
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly slammed a fist on the ground. A crack in the earth gradually spread from under his fist, and the ground in a hundred-meter radius instantly began to sink.
This was just a casual punch. It wasn't as tyrannical as Sakura's ninja-taijutsu, but his control over his power was even better…
After one punch, Sasuke let out a sigh of relief and continued to smile. "What about my current identity? A waiter at Ichiraku Ramen? A chef at the barbecue restaurant? Konoha's playboy? Or the lowest-level rogue ninja in the village?"
Naruto looked at him in terror. "…This guy Sasuke… I feel like… has he been completely broken?"
"Shut up!"
The little brat from a certain world's face darkened. He glared fiercely at his little companion, then let out a helpless sigh of relief. "Looking at your reactions, I should still be a ninja."
"More than three years ago, you defected from Konoha and went to Orochimaru…" Kakashi stared at Sasuke, as if trying to see something in his eyes. "In order to gain stronger power, to kill your brother, Itachi Uchiha…"
"Oh."
Clearly, Sasuke's reaction disappointed him. The little brat's face was completely calm and untroubled. "I figured this would happen. Ever since my brother got that World of Tsukuyomi dōjutsu, that crow has never given up on provoking our sibling relationship…"
Kakashi asked in a low voice, "That crow… what is it?"
"Just a gluttonous, lazy idiot who sleeps in. It doesn't have much to do with you…" Sasuke spread his hands, grabbed his hair, his face a little grim. "It seems the enemy should be Itachi. Is that crow trying to trap me in the World of Tsukuyomi forever!"
How could he possibly make a move against his own brother!
And how could he be his brother's opponent!
Ever since he was three years old, he had deeply recognized his brother's strength. Itachi Uchiha had always possessed a power that was completely unrivaled!
"Um, how about we take Sasuke to see Lady Tsunade first…" Sakura looked at Sasuke's condition with a worried expression and said in a small voice, "Amnesia or something, maybe it's not a bad thing?"
"Tsunade, that old woman…"
Sasuke's face was immediately filled with disdain, but then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something happy. "Maybe I can beat up Karin here? And I can see Shizune-neechan!"
"Thinking about it carefully, maybe this world isn't so unacceptable?"
